Out of the Wild - A poem by Donald G. Redman

Out of the Wild
By Donald G. Redman

You want to paint it
It’s absolutely beautiful
She allows you
to put her heart
on canvas
A tangle of constantly changing light
Her wild places are
Holy
and Quiet.
A lover in abundance
Beautiful
and
Wounded
Precariously perched on the edge of
War
Like something
Out of the wild




'Out of the Wild' was created by repurposing an article by Sarah Bonnette in the north shore editions of the Times-Picayune featuring the artist Peggy Hesse. The poem is an experiment in blackout poetry inspired by Austin Kleon
